Chassis number 'F3-69-12' was supplied new in August 1969 to Concross Racing/Terry McGrath, London via Peter Gethin, acting as sales agent. Repaired at the factory after an incident, the car raced in only a few events that season before racing in 1000cc F3 in 1970 and then 1971 in 1600cc F3. In 1972 the car was sold to Deryck Cook and raced in Formula Libre. Subsequently it was hill climbed and raced through the 1970s, and then in the early 1980s prepared for Historic F3. In 2011 the B15 was purchased by David Noble and then in 2018 was acquired by Mike O'Brien, who rebuilt the car to race-ready specification.

Prepared by Speedsport at Silverstone and driven by Samuel Harrison, this car won all eight Historic Formula 3 races it contested in the 2022 season and finished 2nd overall in the Historic Formula 3 Championship, only failing to win the championship as the team missed the final round because the driver had a university exam! Samuel took pole position for six out of the eight races, and set several new lap records. Jeremy Bennett of Nemesis Racing rebuilt the engine in mid-2022 with a brand new SAS cylinder head, etc. It also came 4th in the 2022 running of the Derek Bell Trophy at the Goodwood Members' Meeting driven by Horatio Fitz-Simon.

In the 2024 season the Chevron was driven by gentleman driver Mark Carter, finishing 3rd in the HF3 Championship with best results of a 2nd at Cadwell Park and a 3rd at Castle Combe. In the current vendors ownership, the B15 has had 100% reliably in testing, qualifying and all races during the above seasons. The car was not raced in the 2025 season. This beautiful Chevron is only reluctantly for sale as other racing takes priority.

Prepared to a high standard, and eligible to race at the Goodwood Members' Meeting in the Derek Bell Trophy, the car comes complete with two sets of Revolution wheels shod with 2022-season tyres. Offered with an HSCC VIF from March 2022.
